Hello friends! Happy Sunday and welcome to blogmas day seventeen. The new year is almost here. I know I've attempted a Goodreads cleanup in the past, but now I mean business, lol. It was either clean it up or start fresh and I just couldn't see myself deleting everything and starting over so here we are.
This will be a three-part project. The first part focuses on my want to read shelf. I started off with four hundred and forty- four books on my want to read tbr. This includes books that have not been released yet.
Duplicates
The first thing that I did was get rid of all duplicates on my shelf. For some reason, when entering Goodreads giveaways, they will add the book onto your want to read shelf even when the book is already on your shelf. You can find duplicates by going to your books and looking on the left side column. Go to the bottom and under tools it will say "Find Duplicates. The books I removed were:
Breathless by Amy MCulloch- this was a dnf.
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid- on TBR. Goodreads giveaway added another.
Even If the Sky is Falling Anthology- Read it earlier this year. Another edition was on my tbr.
Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo- hardcover & eBook editions listed.
Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister- added via GR giveaway.
Ms. Marvel Vol. 2- listed as read twice.
My Secrets Your Lies by N'Tyse- listed as read twice.
Zora Books Her Happily Ever After by Taj McCoy- read it earlier this year, listed as tbr.
This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan- added via GR giveaway.
Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend- read it/ on tbr
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston- listed as want to read twice.
The Only One Left by Riley Sager- listed as want to read twice.
The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan-listed as want to read twice.
Reversible Error by Nia Forrester-listed as want to read twice.
She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica- listed as want to read twice.
Sing Me to Sleep by Gabi Burton- listed as want to read twice but I have since lost interest in this book and removed it completely.
Now that the duplicates were removed, that brings the total number of books on my tbr to 422. The next step was for me to go through and see which books I was no longer interested in. I removed quite a few books but won't bore you with the specifics right now. A few of the books I removed were:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis
Slammed by Colleen Hoover
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
You by Caroline Kepnes
Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
After going through my to-read, I was left with 362 books on my want to read shelf. I'm sure I could go through again and weed out a few more but for now, I'm happy with that number. Stay tuned for part two!
How many books are currently on your TBR?
